the internet ....

just spent 45 minutes surfing it ... and reading ... alot ... and i've come to one conclusion.

the internet is vast. full of truth, half-truths and lies.

kinda think i'm in a philosophical mood now ... weird :S

"All of us can think. Some seem to think better, simply because they think more." - anon

hmmz ... then is it possible to think too much?

is this a false alarm? .. or the sccaarrry truth?

personally ... 99% of fowarded mass emails i get are spam ... or chain messages ... and part of me says this is one of them ... then again ... this could very well be the truth ... and if it is .. its scary.

Kindly take a couple of minutes to go thru this mail. If useful may advise others also. Please pass this on to others This happened in Paris recently and may happen elsewhere also.

A few weeks ago, in a movie theatre, a person felt something poking from her seat. When she got up to see what it was, she found a needle sticking out of the seat with a note attached saying "You have just been infected by HIV". The Disease Control Center (in Paris) reports many similar events in many other cities recently. All tested needles were HIV Positive. The Center also reported that needles have been found in cash dispensers at public banking machines. We ask
everyone to use extreme caution when faced with this kind of situation. All public chairs/seats should be inspected with vigilance and caution before use. A careful visual inspection should be enough. In addition, they ask that each of you pass this message along to all members of your family and your friends of the potential danger.

Recently, one doctor has narrated a somewhat similar instance that appened to one of his patients at the Priya Cinema in Delhi. A young girl, engaged and about to be married in a
couple of months, was pricked while the movie was going on. The tag with the needle had the message " Welcome to the World of HIV". Though the doctors told her family that it takes
about 6 months before the virus grows strong enough to start damaging the system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years, the girl died in 4 months, perhaps more because of
the "Shock thought". We all have to be careful at public places, rest God help! Just think about saving a life by forwarding this message. Please, take a few seconds of your time to pass along.

I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai.
Rather than forwarding irrelevant mails, kindly pass this to every one. Probably ur mail can help some save his/her life.

No me ames, que comprendo
la mentira que seri
Si tu amor no merezco, no me ames
mas qudate otro da

----------------------------------------------

one thing i noticed about this message .. is the spanish "No me ames, que comprendo la mentira que seri Si tu amor no merezco, no me ames mas qudate otro da" at the end ... it appears to be lysics of one of Jennifer Lopez's songs ... and its rather perculiar that "S. Dinesh Gopinath" the " I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai." would end off a sombre warning with lyrics the lyrics of a spanish song by a popular pop singer ... that is if this "S. Dinesh Gopinath," does exist ...

(pardon my ignorance if he does exist .. .i couldn't find any website that verifies that he exists and is the I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai)

wishing myself ... good luck for my physics paper .. in 1 hour 10 minutes ....

am i being ... too hopeful? ... maybe ... *sigh* ...

anyways ...after reading the ode to nice guys .. and ode to nice girls i feel compelled to say its not fun being a nice guy =X .. haha ... then again ... am i nice enough to be considered a nice guy? ... probably not =/

it just amazes me ... how little things can sometimes tick people off ALOT ... not that i can claim to have always had a mild temperment or been as cool as a cucumber or anything like that ... but hey ... at least i can keep my cool most of the time now =)

amazed at how some people can just throw things at people or man-handle them (even though the person who is being man-handles is alot stronger than the person trying to 'attack' him) ... then yelling unreasonably at a calm composed person ... accusing him of gossiping? ... when he wasn't even speaking to her or about her? .... bummer isn't it? ...

anyways ... if u ever read this Benjamin ... thanks for taking control and not letting it go way outta control ... no idea what u told her after i left .. but well .. thanks =)

i have resolved ...

to

1) quit utopia after this age is over

2) spend at least an hour in the gym after PE lessons or 2 hours in the sch gym(or its equivalent) a week ..(when the time-table allows)

3) do sit-ups and leg-raises every-other-day(or at least 3x a week)

4) spend more time studying, doing tutorials and tys questions

5) find a chem tutor

6) NOT play pc-games till AFTER my A-levels (put this down again cos i find myself tempted to install a game and play it .. and waste my time away)

7) go for a photography course (going for a basic photography course on next sunday =) ), improve my photography skills and HOLD OFF the "BUY BUY BUY" fever and NOT get a dslr till after the A levels

8) NOT give my blog address away like i did with my previous blog ... but give it only to people who ask for it ...

9) err ... spend less time surfing clubsnap and dpreview ...

10) build better bonds and friendships with my cell-group-ers and co-cell-group leaders ...and of course grow closer to christ

i guess thats about it ... for now ... hope i don't have to add anymore ... and hope that i can accomplish em all this year ... =)

aftert he party ... went back to church ... haah .. to help with the church cleaning .. didn't have much left to do by the time i got there ... but yeah .. still helped a little =) ... got home ... very tired ... slept almost right after getting home ... other wise i would have blogged last night ... or maybe it would have been this morning =/

post-production party is TOMORROW =) ... hope it'll be fun ... and that we'll all have a great time ... just back from cell ... a while ago ... kinda weird that only the male-members came ... anyways ... might have been good ... that we could adjust the lesson to one that applied to all of us ... (self-control ; anger/temper)

don't know what else to blog about ... maybe i'll get inspiration some time soon? ...
